LUKE | A Prophet in Prison
John the prophet is in prison and sends two disciples to Jesus to ask a question. When life gets hard we struggle with questions. But there is only One who has the answer, only One who IS the Answer – Jesus the Christ. Luke 7:18-30. Jewish historian Josephus identified the prison John was held in by Herod. The fortress castle of Machaerus on the eastern shore of Dead Sea. | AUDIO | TEXT PDF
LUKE | Alive From the Dead
The Poet Robert Frost was asked what he’d learned by the end of his life.
He said, “Everything I’ve learned about life can be summed up in 3 words–It Goes On.” In this event we see Jesus the creator of life, face the power of death and turn tears of sorrow into tears of joy. Luke 7:11-17. | AUDIO | TEXT PDF |
LUKE | The Faith of a Centurion
Twice in the gospels we read of Jesus being amazed by faith…
(1) In Nazareth, “He was amazed at their lack of faith.” (Mark 6:6 NIV)
(2) In Capernaum Jesus is amazed by a Roman Centurion’s Great FAITH (Lk 7:7)
A Faith Jesus said was greater than any He had seen in all of Israel! Could a Centurion’s faith be like that of Noah, Abraham or Moses? Could Our Faith Be Like This Faith? Luke 7:1-10 | AUDIO | TEXT PDF
Augustine said of this centurion, “Counting himself unworthy that Christ should enter his doors, he was counted worthy that Christ should enter his heart.”
